With its Binance listing coming up on the 3rd of January, BIO Protocol has been making the right kind of noise in the DeSci industry. It won’t be wrong to say that they have been leading the space up until now. Especially since the Binance Labs investment in November, after which CZ, Vitalik and others have started showing interest in the field.
BIO Protocol is a launchpad and liquidity protocol for DeSci DAOs, growing and funding the next generation of scientific research DAOs. What does it mean?
To understand that, we need to look at how BIG the problem actually is. Pharma is not delivering drugs fast or cheap enough. In other words, the system is not good enough so it’s time to decentralise it. 90%+ new drugs have failed before coming to market. It already takes more than $2.6B and 10 years to develop a new drug. Imagine the loss of time, money and resources this creates.
This is where BIO comes in.
Rather than the top-down structure of Academia and Big Pharma, BIO accelerates science from the ground-up through community consensus. It enables global communities of scientists, patients, and investors to collectively fund, develop, and co-own promising new drugs and therapeutics through its network of Biotech Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (BioDAOs).
Each BioDAO focuses on a particular therapeutic area, like Long Covid, Rare Diseases or Aging.
The BIO protocol incubates and accelerates BioDAOs — from creation to funding, incentives, liquidity and beyond, taking a percentage stake in each incubated BioDAO.
40M+ in Tokenized IP Market Cap
$7M+ in Funded Science:
The pharma giant PFIZER joined VitaDAO and even voted on proposals.
The total market cap of BioDAOs has grown from $100M to $230M in just a few years.
In the season of memes, this narrative is like a breath of fresh air, taking us right where crypto is meant to be.

DeSci.
The word that has popped up at least a thousand times on my X feed now. It wasn’t until I read more about it that I realised the immense potential it is carrying.
The world runs on one thing and one thing alone, Science.
The problem with Science is, too much power, resources and knowledge are with very less people, creating bottlenecks for innovation and funding.
This is where DeSci (Decentralized Science) comes in. This might feel like it, but it is not just a trend. It is a necessary evolution in how science will progress.
In its core, DeSci uses blockchain technology to enhance scientific research and collaboration. By employing tokens, NFTs, and DAOs, DeSci promotes openness, incentivizes contributions, and enables community-driven decision-making, making funding and opportunities in science accessible to all.
Imagine a world, where the ideas being funded are not just limited to big pharma companies, every scientist is being recognised for the work they do and the community decides who to fund.
There’s $3T in global research funding locked behind bureaucracy and gatekeepers.
Crazy, right?
This will change the world as we know it and if you are not locked in and looking into what these emerging trends are, you’re missing out on once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
When big players like Binance start to take interest in this narrative, you know they know something we don’t.
The most recent and relevant example of Binance’s interest in the DeSci narrative is Bio Protocol, which is a launchpad and liquidity protocol for DeSci DAOs.
Binance Labs is already invested in Bio so you know this project is not just a ‘seasonal’ project. It is here to stay and it is most probably going to lead how the world of science evolves.
And that’s not all,
$BIO, the token at the heart of BIO Protocol will be listed on Binance on the 3rd of January, 2024, bringing DeSci to 200m+ users and making it accessible for masses to invest in this narrative.
This is just the beginning, the world is changing and if you are not locked in now, you are NGMI.
